CLAY PIPES

As clay pipes are mainly used for sewerage purposes demand is concentrated with local government, which has to provide the infrastructure for housing projects etc. The industry for that reason has to deal with the budgetary vicissitudes of its customers. It also has to cope with competing products, where it can point to the environmental advantages of clay pipes.

The main producing countries are Germany and the UK; production is concentrated in a few international production groups.
